800 musicians gave a powerful boost to the already epic hymn, ‘Nearer, My God, To Thee’. The encouraging musical stunned thousands of listeners.
James Stevens is the writer and composer of the song in its original Latin lyrics. The song is a timely reminder that even in the midst of chaos and confusion in the world, God is always at your side.
“In articulo martis (At the moment of death)
Caelitus mihi vires (My strength is from heaven)
Deo adjuvante non timendum (God helping, nothing should be feared)
In perpetum (Forever)”
Nearer my God, to Thee
Vocal Point, a men’s choir, is behind the collaboration of the wonderful song. They are known for their acapella covers of all-time favorite hymns and inspirational songs. And today, they’ve worked with 800 musicians from 55 different countries to perform “Nearer, My God, To Thee.”
The vocalists came from Argentina, Sweden, Thailand, and more. The classic hymn describes the desire of the singer for the Presence of the Almighty God. And that no matter the troubles or situation we may in, we cry out, “Nearer, my God, to Thee!”
“Still, all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee/ Nearer to Thee!”
Viewers can’t help but get emotional after listening to their powerful rendition. Tiffany Green said, “This sounds like a prayer turned into an anthem during these trying times. I was so overcome with the spirit I couldn’t control the tears. How powerful.”
Another commenter, McKenna Murdock, said, “This is AMAZING!! Brought tears to my eyes. I’m so grateful for the technology we have today to be able to continue brightening the lives of others around the world, despite what is going on. Thank you for sharing your light!!❤️????”
Indeed, God is our ever-present help in times of trouble. With Him at our side, whom shall we fear?
